Louis Tomlinson spoke out on X about the growing conspiracy theories surrounding his personal life.

On July 15, the One Direction singer took to X and wrote, “The last few months have made it impossible to be on here. All the conspiracy chat about my relationship, my son or even stretching sometimes to opinions on my Mum. It’s just too much and too hurtful for me to see!"

He proceeded to express gratitude for those who have always supported him.

The statement comes amid renewed public interest in Tomlinson’s relationship with Zara McDermott. The couple, who reportedly began dating in March, were seen together at Glastonbury and more recently at his Zurich concert. Zara was spotted singing along at the show and was later seen bonding with Louis’s sister Lottie at the festival.

As for his 8-year-old son Freddie whom he shares with ex Briana Jungwirth, the singer has largely kept his son’s life private. Last year, Freddie made a rare appearance in a Tiktok enjoying frozen yogurt with Tomlinson's family. Fans quickly noted how much he has grown, with many commenting on his resemblance to his father.

In his post, Tomlinson also criticised conspiracies about his mom Johannah Deakin, who passed away from leukaemia in 2016.

Despite public scrutiny, he appears focused on maintaining strong family connections and protecting his loved ones from online speculation.
